When the computer is not plugged into an AC power outlet, the battery
pack is the primary power source. Your computer also has Real-Time
Clock (RTC) function. All of the power resources are interrelated with
anyone having the ability to produce apparent power problems.

User's Manual
Procedure
Leave the computer off until it reaches room
temperature. If the computer has reached room
temperature and it still does not start, or if it starts
but shuts down quickly, contact TOSHIBA Support.
Procedure
Check the connections to make sure that the
power cord/adaptor is firmly connected to the
computer and a working power outlet.
Check the condition of the cord and terminals. If
the cord is frayed or damaged it should be
replaced, while if the terminals are soiled, they
should be cleaned with a clean cotton cloth.
If the AC adaptor still does not power the
computer, you should contact TOSHIBA Support.
Procedure
The battery might be discharged. Connect the AC
adaptor to recharge the battery.
If the battery is completely discharged, it will not
begin charging immediately. In these instances,
wait a few minutes before trying again. If the
battery still does not charge, check that the power
outlet the AC adaptor is connected to is supplying
power. This can be tested by plugging another
appliance into it.
